This resource investigates the top cultural and anthropological reasons why we practice the art of tattooing and proudly display them. Beyond fad, cosmetic, or individual reasons, readers learn about the roles of tattoos in religion, ritual, cultural identity, and more. Further, this book offers readers information that could influence their own opinions about tattoos and the decision to get one.

Series Review: Tattooing"... Whether for a research paper or for personal information, this series presents a good overview of the art of tattooing ... Illustrations in the series are of high quality and generally make tattoos look cool ... The design and the reading level are accessible without talking down to the audience, so this is a good choice for enticing reluctant readers with an interest in body art."
